Cancer drivers are NOT found in DNA
Two new studies have revealed that not only are there no newly developed ‘mutations’ in DNA causing cancer formation; but also where there is an inherited mutation, it does not reduce cancer survival times; if anything people with an inherited mutation survive longer! First, researchers from Sloan Kettering have found that cancer does not derive from new mutations in your DNA – there is not…
